Doesn't look legit to me

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Also, never pay via direct bank transfer.  Always use a credit card or PayPal where possible.

Update: I dug deeper to find this guy is using a relay for communication via an exit node situated in Nigeria, using Airtel mobile connections. I'll try to further inspect to see actual point of origin. In hindsight, don't even know why this question was asked. Nevertheless, this guy is not going to scam more people; I'll make sure of it.

I buy many GTX 1080 by Hammed Okija. He is trust seller. Big recommended.

The biggest red flag, among MANY of them I see is that the only acceptable payment method is Bank Transfer.  There's no protection for that.
